Lost in the Deep.

ST.. JOHNS, N. F., March Slime
reported loss Of the steamer Eagle is con-
frmed by the discovery Of the wfecking at
Bona Vista Bay. The crew numbered go
men, and there II nothing to show that any
one was saved. The steamer was lost on
the shoal near Funk Island, off Bona Vista
Bay. Debris comprising the deck-ladders,
forecastle-deck and cooking gear. with the
steamers name. were found on the ice, and
the inhabitants are on the outlook for the
bodies of the drowned. The most of the
lost seamen lived in and about St Johns,
and the excitement and grief here is in
tense. The Eagle was . large sealing
steamer commanded bv Captain Jockman
and owned by Messrs. Bowring Brother.
A message from Grecupond, about 100
miles from here, says that Lighthouse
Keeper Cabot had boarded the sealing
steamers Vanguard and Hector, and both
of those vessels are reported as passing
spars, the foremast and the name-board of
the Eagle" near the spot where she was
last seen. Lighthouse-KeeperC Cabot is
reliable man, and from his knowledge of
affairs there and the fact that the Eagle has
not been seen since March IL while other
vessels of the fleet have been
spoken every few days, it is
universally believed that the vessel with
her $50 souls on board was driven on the
terrible reefs which are numerous inside
Of Funk's Island, that the sea broke her up.
and that she probably sank Immediately
with her fifty seamen on deck and 80 seal
fishers below.
The sea that swept the coast that night
was the worst that was ever witnessed by
the oldest sealers on board of the other ves-
sells, and no ship once getting in these terri
bic breakers could possibly escape.
Captain Jackman, commander Of the ILL
fated vessel, was considered to be the
bravest skipper that Newfoundland ever
produced and he was called "the King Of
the sealing fleet" until 1855, when, for the
first time in his experience, he failed to Sc
cure anv ,seals. Last year his hard luck
again overlook him and he lost the steamer
Resolute near the same fatal Funk Island,
but all his crew escaped. Later in the same
season he took command of the Eagle and
within few weeks she broke her SHAFT.
She was refitted and month ago she
started with the rest Of the fleet on what
is now felt as her last voyage.

RANCH and RANGE.

Good grade bulls are worth from s25 to
80 each.
The Littleton creamery is making 1900
pounds Of butter week.
Many of. the Atwood farmers have their
oats in the ground, and are pIowing for
corn and potatoes.
The demand for horses in Denver is most
worth from 200 to $500 per span.
George Pickell, of Fremont county, has
over an acre of wild currants on his ranch.
The fruit is very fine, being both yellow
and black.
The acreage of oats will be doubled in the
State the present season. The greatest in
crease in acres will be in the south and in
the mountains.
Over fifty families have taken up their
week. Those who want Eureka Park land
had better ''get move on 'em."
The range stock on the eastern border Of
Colo RADIO are looking better than they have
for four years. Green grass is out and but
few de ad cattle are seen anywhere.
Mr.. Jennings, of the Continental Cattle
company, who has been looking over east
ern Weld county the present winter, esti-
mates that there will be fifty thousand new
acres seeded in that region the present
spring. zone third of these acres, ,"he says
will be seeded to alfalfa"
Many of the flock owners of the State
with whom we have lately talked have con-
fidence that the best wool will be worth
from twenty to twenty-five cents in this
market after the early shearing. There is
much confidence with the flock owners in
the future.-Field and Farm.
The Maxwell land grant people are try
ing to make second issuance Of bonds to
the amount of e, SOC, 900 for the purpose Of
buying 5000 to 900 head of cattle fol
the grant in northern New Mexico. They
want to fence the grant, some sixty miles
square, and close herd their stock.
A good mich cow-one that will yield
four gallons of rich milk per day-will pass
current for hundred dollars in Denver. II
is hard to get the dealers in cows to under
stand really what is meant by first-class
COW. Scrubs are in abundance, while there
are but few of the hundred dollar kind.
This spring is fully three weeks in ad
vance of any season, for several years pre-
vious, and the ranchmen of this valley
seem to be..fully alive to the fact that early
planting as rule secures the best results
when harvest comes. They are .also fas,
becoming converts to deep ploughing, as
we very frequently hear ranchman re
marx mn. =. he is ploughing deeper this yeal
than ever before.SSLa veta Times.
